Oops ... careless reading on my part.  Thanks for pointing it out.

My only excuse:  the server concerned had a twin which was identical in
every respect, except that it had a DVD Writer from the same stable,
i.e. I just assumed that they were completely identical and didn't see
the '-ROM' bit because I wasn't looking for it.

But, as you say, this still leaves a puzzle over the problem of writing
CD-R and CD-RW ... it's probably time to try prodding it in new ways ...
